Sage Butter Carrots

Ingredients

2 tbsp butter

4 medium local carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally

1/4 cup lightly packed fresh sage, minced

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium high heat. Add carrots and sage and swirl to coat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Add 1 tablespoon water, cover pan and reduce heat to medium. Cook, covered for 8 to 10 minutes or until carrots are crisp soft. Swirl pan occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.

Remove cover and continue to cook until carrot edges begin to brown and caramelize 3 to 4 more minutes. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne (optional).

Serve warm.
